20 Fenchurch Street is a commercial skyscraper in London that takes its name from its address on Fenchurch Street, in the historic City of London financial district. It has been nicknamed "The Walkie-Talkie" because of its distinctive shape, said to resemble a two-way radio handset. Construction was completed in spring 2014, and the three-floor "sky garden" was opened in January 2015. The 38-storey building is 160 m (525 ft) tall. Since July 2017, the building has been owned by Lee Kum Kee Groups. Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and costing over £200 million, 20 Fenchurch Street features a highly distinctive top-heavy form which appears to burst upward and outward. The entrance floor and 34 floors of office space are topped by a large viewing deck. A bar and restaurants are included on the 35th, 36th and 37th floors; these are, with restrictions, open to the public.The tower was originally proposed at nearly 200 m (656 ft) tall but its design was scaled down after concerns about its visual impact on the nearby St Paul's Cathedral and Tower of London. It was subsequently approved in 2006 with the revised height. Even after the height reduction there were continued concerns from heritage groups about its impact on the surrounding area. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Ruth Kelly, called in the project for another public inquiry. The project was consequently the subject of a public inquiry; in 2007 this ruled in the developers' favour and the building was granted full planning permission. In 2015 it was awarded the Carbuncle Cup for the worst new building in the UK in the previous 12 months.In 2013 Paul Finch of the Design Council CABE said he regretted supporting the project during the public inquiry, saying that the developers "made a mess of it" and were architects of their own misfortune.

Lime Street is a minor road in the City of London between Fenchurch Street to the south and Leadenhall Street to the north. Its name comes from the lime burners who once sold lime from there for use in construction.It is perhaps best known as the current home of the world's largest insurance market, Lloyd's of London, since its newest building was opened on the street in 1986. Opposite Lloyd's, the Willis Building is the global headquarters of insurance broker Willis. A 35-storey building stands at 52-54 Lime Street as the European headquarters of global insurer W. R. Berkley. The northern portion of the street is pedestrianised. Vehicular through-access to Leadenhall Street is prevented by a firegate, forcing drivers to bear right onto Fenchurch Avenue, from which a left turn onto Billiter Street returns vehicles to Leadenhall Street. Nearby is the Norman Foster-designed and gherkin-shaped skyscraper 30 St Mary Axe, and the Leadenhall Building. Leadenhall Market is on Lime Street's western side, adjacent to Lloyd's. According to scholars, Charles Dickens placed the residence of Ebenezer Scrooge in a now-demolished house on the site of the current Lloyd's building at the corner of Lime and Leadenhall Streets. The southern portion of the street formed part of the marathon course for the 2012 Olympic Games. The women's marathon took place on 5 August and the men's on 12 August 2012.The nearest London Underground stations are Monument and Aldgate and the closest mainline railway stations are Liverpool Street, Cannon Street and Fenchurch Street.

Philpot Lane is a short street in London, United Kingdom, running from Eastcheap in the south to Fenchurch Street in the north. It is named after Sir John Philpot, Lord Mayor of London from 1378 to 1379. It is the site of London's smallest public statue, The Two Mice Eating Cheese, on a building near the junction with Eastcheap. The sculpture supposedly commemorates the death of two workmen, who are said to have fallen from scaffolding either during the construction of the building in 1862, or during the construction of the nearby Monument to the Great Fire of London in the 1670s. Some versions of the story have both of them dying, others say that one pushed the other from the roof. The story goes that the workmen were arguing over the theft of a sandwich, which was later revealed to have been taken by mice.

30 Fenchurch Street is one of the largest office developments in the City of London, the primary financial district of London. Until October 2020, the building was known as Plantation Place, taking its name from a previous Plantation House, once the world's recognised centre of the tea trade. Its anchor tenant is Accenture but it is also the headquarters of a number of other consultancy firms, banks and insurance companies, including Accenture, Aspen Insurance, Berrymans Lace Mawer and QBE Insurance. The building occupies almost an entire block of approximately 10,200 sq m, bordered by Fenchurch Street to the north, Mincing Lane to the east, and Rood Lane to the west. It is bounded to the south by its sister building Plantation Place South, which has its main entrance on Great Tower Street. On the other side of Rood Lane is the 40-storey skyscraper 20 Fenchurch Street, completed in August 2014.The previous building on the site was Plantation House (built in 1935) and served the commodities markets, especially for tea and rubber. It was the home of the London Metal Exchange until 1994.In October 2020, the owner of the development changed its name from Plantation Place in the wake of controversy over the financial district's historic links to slavery. The new name of 30 Fenchurch Street is taken from the first line of the building's postal address. The complex contains almost 3,000 sq m of roof gardens, offering views of London's skyline. In September 2004, these roof gardens were opened to the public as part of the Open House London weekend. Arup Group were the architects, mechanical engineers and structural engineers for a series of buildings on the site constructed in 2004. The site is the location of the remains of the old Roman settlement of Londinium, burned down by Boudica in AD 60. A hoard of gold coins from the 2nd century was found on the site.

Plantation Place South is an office building in the City of London. It consists of nine floors and forms part of a complex consisting of the larger 30 Fenchurch Street to the north. The building was designed by the Arup Associates architects' group. Plantation Place South was first proposed as a new area of office development in 2001 and construction work began in 2002; it was completed and opened two years later. Plantation Place South is located at the corner of Great Tower Street and Mincing Lane, near the Tower of London and Fenchurch Street railway station. Its main entrance and postal address is at 60 Great Tower Street, although workers may also enter the building from Plantation Lane, a pedestrianised alley between 30 Fenchurch Street and Plantation Place South. Plantation Lane is the home of an art installation, "Time and Tide", created by Simon Patterson. The installation, which is frequently visited and photographed by tourists, chronicles the history of London from times of the Romans to the modern age. Tenants of Plantation Place South include insurers AXIS, Beazley Group, Arch, and Sucden. These insurers operate in what is known as the London Companies' Market, which alongside Lloyd's of London offers large commercial insurance and reinsurance to the global market. The location of the building, within an easy walk of the Lloyd's building and many other brokers and insurers, is an attractive force for the aforementioned companies and others operating within this market. The whole building is estimated to have cost around £120 million to build.
